"The Tenderloin District of San Francisco through time" is a brief history of a neighborhood known to early San Franciscans as St. Ann's Valley. The story of this once-placed piece of real estate provides us with a fascinating microcosm of urban history as we follow its turbulent passage from an outlying village of Gold Rush pioneers to prosperous but quiet residential respectability; its development into a hotel, entertainment, and vice district; its gradual decay into decades of mean and homeless streets; and its ongoing efforts towards economic rehabilitation.
